VF SS Brembo brake upgrade Vol. 2

[KING46Calais V]

$2000 for the lot including DBA T3 rotors

Too good to be true ?

I think so
Seeing T3's alone are around $1000 for the 4 corners. Only leaves 250 each corner for the "genuine" brembo.
If it is all legit that is a ridiculously good deal.
I'd make sure they are genuine, new, and not resprayed.

Go for it. Easiest way to tell if they have been repainted is the use of decals. Brembo screen print the Brembo logo over the painted calipers and then clear coats the entire caliper so will be smooth to feel and no lip/lump. Decals you can feel lip/lump of the decal as they are slightly raised from the surface.

Yeah. Hard to tell by looking at the pictures

They look legit ?

Not sure. But the pistons on my VF Redline are solid, i.e no hole.

Not always.
I bought cts calipers and had them resprayed and the brembo logo stenciled on and clear coated
They look factory with no lip

Why dont I ever see rear 2nd hand sets for sale?

They look resprayed to me. Blow up the pic. There's red paint around the edge of the rubber seals and some on the surface of the rubber. Caveat emptor I'd say.
